I’ve recently published my parsing combinator library lexy. One of the things it does is issue a lexy::error if the input does not match the grammar. This error has a .position() which gives you the position where the error occurred. In order to keep the happy path fast, .position() is not something that is easy to use for end users: it is simply an iterator into the input range. This is no good to a human user who wants something like line and column number to easily locate the problematic...
